Third Grade is Terrific
We are enjoying our students and hope for an amazing year of learning!! We are experiencing a lot of changes in curriculum this year. We have started a new math curriculum called Eureka Math! We are finishing up Module 1,titled, "Properties of Multiplication and Division and Solving Problems with Units of 2-5 and 10." The next module is focused on Place Value and Problem Solving with Units of Measure. In addition, we also have new cursive writing curriculum. This year we are using a program titled, Handwriting Without Tears.
We have been working on visualizing in reading. This skill helps us with our comprehension. It's like making a movie of the book in our heads. One of our favorite stories so far is, "The Spooky Tail of Prewitt Peacock." 3rd Graders are expected to practice their vocabulary word list, study spelling and read at least 15 minutes a day. Their spelling list is either pink or purple depending on who they did with their pretest. We value parents, community partners and volunteers who support our daily learning.
